Perdicis etymology
publish Part of Perdicis website, Perdicis development, and Rune project.
I obsessed over this too much but the idea is:
- My last name is “Partridge”.
- In Latin, that’s “perdix” (nominative) or “perdicis” (genitive).
- The genitive case indicates possession.
- So a phrase like “perdicis puzzles,” ignoring the mix of English and Latin, indicates “puzzles by a partridge” or “a partridge’s puzzles.”
- So, “thing.perdicis.com” means, if you ignore the ”.”, “a thing [owned/made by] a Partridge”.
- Which is what notes.perdicis.com is!
